Extremely cliche millennial ass song to be my most played of my 15 years on Spotify (minus songs from sleep and child playlists)

My big board: 1. Dybantsa 2. Peterson 3. Wagler 4. Flemings 5. Wilson 6. Boozer 7. Brown 8. Peat 9. Ament 10. Acuff

The answer is “Mr. Brightside” though it should be “Paper Planes.” Also, “All My Friends” might be the most Gen X adult song imaginable.

I hate that Zohran is spending any time at all solving New Jersey’s problems www.cbssports.com/soccer/news/...

Random reminder that if not for bad science, Magic Johnson would have had 2-5 more elite seasons and more clearly would be in the same tier as Michael Jordan and LeBron James.

A new tax break for developers, 485-x, has spurred a rash of buildings with exactly the same number of apartments — and no more. www.thecity.nyc/2026/05/07/a...

Knicks had more points at halftime than the Spurs or Timberwolves had after three quarters.

Jason Kidd out here lying on LinkedIn about his résumé in the most obvious ways

Y’all still valorize the guy who drafted Michael Carter-Williams, Jalil Okafor and Nerlens Noel, for whom he traded Jrue Holiday.

College basketball fans should be aware that Jamal Shead reached new levels of Jamal Shead-ness tonight: 7 points, 6 assists, 2-for-9 shooting, 5 fouls and missed a buzzer-beater to end regulation … yet he was essential to the Raptors winning Game 6.

Not always the biggest fan of beat-jacking, but then Rakim over “Survival of the Fittest” and “Unbelievable” exists youtu.be/huwk2FTuhi8?...

Every new idea gets cycled into old ideas (via @tldrnews.bsky.social)

London Calling is a no-skips album despite having 19 songs, but this run of songs is like a tour of everything I’ve ever wanted from rock and roll

Crowded coffee shop this morning. I'm next in line behind someone with a big order when the other register opens. The guy behind me—who looks like the creepy dad from Industry fwiw—immediately goes there. But the woman behind him insists I order next. Even a little kindness can make someone's day.

Red Murdock: Mr. Irrelevant or a nickname for Marvel superhero The Daredevil?

I think Franz Wagner is a top 20 player in the world, and I also dislike watching him play.

We spend all this time saying that a massive key for quarterback development — as much as talent — is the team (roster/coaches/staff) they land with. So I’m kinda expecting Ty Simpson to become the very best version of himself.

Rueben Bain even struggles to wrap up his family hugs

I had never considered the idea of a worst track on Purple Rain until @bomani-jones.bsky.social brought it up. I can't fathom skipping a song from it on a playlist, and in the album order it's even crazier because the sequencing is as perfect as the songs.

You ever drift off for a moment and think about how the Hawks promised Shelden Williams they'd take him fifth overall in the 2006 NBA Draft despite him not even being top 10 in many draft boards just so he wouldn't work out for other teams even though the top four picks were already basically locks?

Buddy go to cbssports.com on Saturday morning if you want a R4-7 mock draft we gotchu

I love that in Spanish if you want to say "excuse me" you have to consider exactly the tone you mean to set in choosing between "perdón," "escusame" or "disculpe."

For anyone who lives in New York City, I cannot recommend @thecity.nyc’s daily newsletter highly enough. Even just for this daily section:

My 3yo just used his cutest sleepy voice to inform his mother of an important fact: “Sometimes I fart, and sometimes I don’t.”

I regret to inform you that Häagen-Dazs’ new Peanut Butter Brittle flavor is incredible.

I wrote about Dianna Russini, the constant pressure female reporters face to prove they aren't sleeping with sources (plus the pressure we do get from sources to get involved with them), and why all of this is so uncomfortable to talk about. Gift link:

Crazy NBA Draft fact: The Pacers haven't had a top-five pick since 1988 (Rik Smits No. 2 overall)

See, my first thought was J. Cole, but his fans insist on hyperbole and then ask you what you think about THEIR hyperbole. So I'll go with Wes Anderson, whose fans seem to be aware that he's an acquired taste.

Wu-Tang Clan members, ranked by my taste (1/4) As rappers in the group 1. GZA 2. Method Man 3. Inspectah Deck 4. Ol’ Dirty Bastard 5. Raekwon 6. Ghostface Killah 7. RZA 8. Masta Killa 9. U-God

In the Aeroplane Over the Sea is admittedly an unhinged album choice for public commuting, but it’s perfect, too.

My big board right now: 1. Dybantsa 2. Peterson 3. Wagler 4. Flemings 5. Boozer 6. Wilson 7. Peat 8. Brown 9. Burries 10. Acuff 11. Ament 12. Steinbach 13. Haugh 14. Mara 15. Lopez 16. Swain 17. Anderson 18. Quaintance 19. Philon 20. Stirtz

I would like for someone to make a great Barry Bonds biopic, and I also would like for it to happen before TI gets too old to play Royce Clayton (and attempt an LA accent)

Sporcle needs a “name where each 2026 NBA regular-season finale starter began his college career.” 150 starters, you figure probably 130 who played college basketball, probably 100 of those who played more than two seasons in college during the transfer portal era.

It feels like, to this point, everyone is playing their exact roles, which means it will finish 1. Scheffler 2. Young 3. McIlroy T4. Homa T4. Rose 6. Hatton 7. Koepka T8. Burns T8. Henley T8. Morikawa

Cam Young is the Yankees’ best hope at a championship

Michigan was so good that its KenPom rating actually dropped because of a 6-point win in the national championship game.

A Michigan walk-on — who is still on the roster — might be the reason Tarris Reed transferred to UConn From @davidwcobb.bsky.social’s great story on Reed www.cbssports.com/college-bask...

In the era of NIL, coaching matters. The excellence of Dawn Staley and Dan Hurley continue to stand out.

Geno Auriemma pulling a Dallas Braden is so nuts. Great column by @lindsaygibbs.bsky.social from Phoenix www.cbssports.com/womens-colle...

"My Michael Jordan is Steve Kerr" is wildest bar I've heard since Young Thug's peak www.cbssports.com/college-bask...

Planters has a trail mix pack called NUTS & CHOCOLATE ... ... that also includes raisins.

I feel like we forget that Coach K’s last seven seasons ALL were worse than Jon Scheyer’s last two.

Reed Sheppard is goofy, and I love it. He plays defense like he wants to embarrass you and cannot be embarrassed himself.

I have been a sports media professional for 16 years and somehow never been to Indianapolis. Now I have to spend a week there. Crowdsourcing: Tell me three restaurants and/or bowling alleys to check out.

As a queer person covering the Bulls, the team’s response to Jaden Ivey's homophobic comments came as a relief. But the guard’s beliefs — and willingness to vocalize them — were not a surprise. If Artūras Karnišovas can’t vet his trades, why should he continue running the Bulls front office?

Olivier Rioux really only makes sense at Purdue.

National championship game predictions: Texas beats UConn Arizona beats Illinois
